You must be at least 17 years old to run the London Marathon.

Already have your own place?

If you were lucky enough to secure your own spot, you can still join Team Shelter and use your place to defend the right to a safe home. We'd love for you to join the team – please get in touch.

Still thinking about running for Team Shelter?

As an official charity partner of this event, you can expect the best from us, including:

• a Shelter technical running top
• training plans and fundraising resources
• personal trainer support from our partner, GH Training
• fundraising advice

We'll be there to cheer you on.

In this video, some of our past runners share why you should take on the London Landmarks Half Marathon.

Join the fight for home

When you run a half marathon with Team Shelter, you're joining the fight for housing justice.

Our experts provide advice and support for people at the sharp end of the housing emergency. Thanks to fundraisers like you, last year:

• 16,721 households received support from our emergency helpline
• 13,130 households visited our local hubs for advice
• 4,950 households worked with our legal advice services

We stand with renters facing eviction. We call out systemic racism in the housing sector. And we campaign for long-term change that will tackle the root causes of homelessness.

Fundraising for Shelter

We recommend you start by setting up a Shelter fundraising page and asking friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. You can also organise an event such as a bake sale or quiz. See our fundraising resources for more inspiration.

Please make sure you’re confident in reaching the fundraising pledge before you sign up. We invest in places at charity events and need to raise as much as possible for our fight against housing injustice.

Our friendly Events team are on hand to support you with your fundraising. If you have a question or want to talk through ideas, email running@shelter.org.uk or call us on 0344 515 1190.
